Robert Downey, Jr. and a radiant-in-blue Rachel McAdams hit the red carpet in Berlin last night to premiere Sherlock Holmes. The stars of the film were joined by their dinner companions from the night before, Diane Kruger and January Jones, both of whom looked gorgeous. Diane is back in her home country for work, including an upcoming role alongside January. Both RDJ and January Jones are nominated for Golden Globes this Sunday, and Diane Kruger could join them for the trip back to LA to support Inglourious Basterds' handful of nods.

January Gets to Know Diane and the Sherlock Gang

January Jones scored an invite to a dinner in Berlin last night with some of the Sherlock Holmes team.

January Jones scored an invite to a dinner in Berlin last night with some of the Sherlock Holmes team. Diane Kruger, who stylishly touched down at Tegel airport in her home country yesterday afternoon, also got decked out for the meal with Robert Downey Jr., Guy Ritchie, and producer Joel Silver. It's perfect timing for Diane and January to get to know each other better, since the blondes are set to share the screen in the upcoming film Unknown White Male with Liam Neeson, who was also spotted arriving in Germany this week. Guy and his actors are all apparently in Europe for a premiere this afternoon, but it looks like they were able to add a little pleasure into their business trip.

Box Office: Avatar Is Still Raking It In

No surprise here: Avatar topped the box office for its fourth straight week in a row, a feat that hasn't happened since 2008's The Dark Knight.

No surprise here: Avatar topped the box office for its fourth straight week in a row, a feat that hasn't happened since 2008's The Dark Knight. The film took in $48.5 million for the No. 1 spot, but also saw its biggest sales dip yet with a 29 percent decrease from last week's numbers.

Sherlock Holmes came in second yet again with $16.6 million, followed by Alvin and the Chipmunks: The Squeakquel with $16.3 million.

The majority of you said you were interested in seeing the vampire flick Daybreakers, and it proved to be the most promising of the weekend's debuts with $15 million for fourth place. It's Complicated came in fifth with $11 million.

Other newcomers Leap Year and Youth in Revolt didn't fare as well. The Amy Adams vehicle took in $9 million for a No. 6 spot, while the latter made $7 million for a disappointing No. 9 finish.

Box Office: Avatar Is Still Unstoppable

Another holiday weekend, another big win for Avatar.

Another holiday weekend, another big win for Avatar. The film still held strong at the No. 1 spot, pulling in an impressive $68.3 million domestically and bulldozing the rest of the competition, including Sherlock Holmes which came in second with $38.3 million.


Avatar's earnings push it past the $1 billion mark globally, making it the fourth highest grossing film worldwide behind James Cameron's other baby, Titanic, as well as Lord of the Rings: Return of the King and Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest. And it's only in its third weekend in theaters so time will tell.

Rounding out the rest of the top five was Alvin and the Chipmunks: The Squeakquel with $36.6 million, It's Complicated with $18.7 million, and The Blind Side which continued to surprise by earning $12.6 million — even better than last week's figures.

Box Office: Avatar Is Still Wowing Audiences at No. 1

Thanks to a few film juggernauts, it was a record-breaking weekend at the movies, with the industry taking in an unprecedented $278 million in sales.

Thanks to a few film juggernauts, it was a record-breaking weekend at the movies, with the industry taking in an unprecedented $278 million in sales. Leading the pack was reigning champ, Avatar. Despite three big releases breaking into the top five, no one was able to unseat James Cameron's sci-fi spectacle, which brought in $75 million in its second week (that's an incredibly small drop off of only 2.6 percent from last weekend's final gross).

Robert Downey Jr. and Jude Law gave a strong showing at No. 2 with their Sherlock Holmes raking in $65.3 million and breaking the record for biggest Christmas opening ever. Alvin and the Chipmunks: The Squeakquel followed at No. 3 with $50.2 million. The Meryl Streep comedy It's Complicated earned $22.1 million for fourth place, and finishing out the top five was Up in the Air with $11.7 million.

Sherlock Holmes: Action-Packed Bromance

Forgive my use of the overused term "bromance" in my title — it's been bandied about quite a lot this year to describe buddy films.

Forgive my use of the overused term "bromance" in my title — it's been bandied about quite a lot this year to describe buddy films. There have been many, but few have had what Sherlock Holmes has: two male leads who really have chemistry.

Robert Downey Jr. and Jude Law play legendary detective Holmes and his sidekick Dr. Watson in the stylish action comedy from director Guy Ritchie. Ritchie's name is markedly underused in the film's ad campaign, and it's sort of appropriate: gone is the explicit language and sexuality I expected from the gritty filmmaker, best known for Snatch and Lock, Stock, and Two Smoking Barrels. That doesn't mean that it's diluted, however; what Ritchie employs is his knack for cool-looking action and clever, funny dialogue. This makes for a movie with mass appeal and allows you to focus on what the film is really about: Holmes and Watson's relationship.
